How to Fix WASH LIGHT ON OR FLASHING Error (Step-by-Step)
- This light simply indicates that the main wash portion of the cycle is in progress.
- A solid light means it is actively washing, while a flashing light may indicate the washer is soaking or tumbling the clothes.
- This is normal operation and does not require any intervention.
- Allow the machine to continue its cycle undisturbed for best cleaning results.
- If you need to add a forgotten item, press the ‘Start/Pause’ button, wait for the machine to stop, add the item, close the lid, and press ‘Start’ again to resume.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
- Check for simple blockages (lint screen, drain path, or filter) and clean anything you find.
